Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States

SolidusGold Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SDC) is pleased to announce that it intends to raise up to $375,000 through a non-brokered private placement of up to 3,571,429 units at a price of $0.105 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The warrants will be exercisable for 24 months at an exercise price of $0.14 per warrant share. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issue.

The proceeds from the private placement will be used for the evaluation of potential acquisition transactions, including land and legal due diligence reviews, and for general working capital.

The Private Placement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Certain directors and officers of the Company are expected to acquire securities under the private placement. Such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the transaction nor the consideration to be received for those securities insofar as the transaction involves interested parties exceeds $2,500,000.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
